  text: Three experiments explored the effect of medium of presentation (pictures,
    words) and psychological distance (proximal, distal) on episodic memory. In particular,
    we predicted that memory would be better for congruent combinations of medium
    and distance (i.e., pictures of psychologically proximal entities and verbal labels
    of psychologically distal entities) than incongruent combinations (i.e., pictures
    of psychologically distal entities and verbal labels of psychologically proximal
    entities). Our results support this hypothesis. In Experiments 1 and 2, recall
    was better when medium and temporal distance were congruent than not. In Experiment
    3 people recognition was better when medium and spatial distance were congruent
    than not. These findings suggest that the decay of memory for details over time
    is a specific case of a broader principle that governs our memory system and is
    based on psychological distance between the individual and the target entity.
    More broadly, these results speak to the growing literature, which suggests that
    one of the major roles of memory is prospection. Within this framing, our findings
    suggest that the memory system serves prospection using qualitatively different
    information processing devices, depending on the psychological distance of the
    target from the individual.

  text: "Generation Y marks the transition between a world with and without fully
    implemented Internet: A new kind of virtual space is formed and is impacting the
    way we live in this world, the way we perceive it, and the way we interact with
    it. Mobile devices, such as phones, build a new form of electronic technology
    type we interact with. This thesis investigates how this new form of relation
    can give insights to the way we are situated in this world with all its complexities
    and levels.\r\nIn a case study, the author focuses on the relationship with mobile
    devices in the context of memory (making and recalling), materiality (haptic and
    metaphoric) and the human body itself (perception and sensory system). By developing
    a practice and contextualizing it in terms of space-theoretical and phenomenological
    concepts, this thesis aims to start a discourse on our human, (un-)conscious relation
    to mobile devices in place and time. Is it time for an imperfect, humane view
    towards the era of information from a Millennial perspective?"
